The Republicans are said TO be making
effective use in Ohio of fac SMILES of
medals struck off in Georgia in honor of
President Cleveland and Mr.. Davis The
thing about them which excites the loyal
Republican mind is that the Davis medal is
the larger. This is taken to be proof posi-
tive that Georgians are not loyal. Even if
they were not, it is hard to say what they
would have to do with the internal admins
tration of Ohio. 1t is not at all improbable,
however, that the alleged fac SMILES are as
false as other campaign lies in regard to the
South with which the Republicans have
been trying to arouse the hatred of the
people of Ohio, that they might forget local
issues. None of the medals spoken of have
been seen in this community.

Facts About Tile-DraininR.


Mr. J. j. W. Bilhngsby, of Indiana. who makes
speciality of tile draining, and publishes Jour-
nal at Indianapolis to explain and advocate it,
spoke OF system that Is fast redeeming thou
sands of acres Of other wise valueless land, and
benefting good land, by giving it thorough tile
drainage. He said farmers srumb ed along, saw
results, but did not consider how they might pre-
vent the bad results. reproduce at will the
good ones. They saw how water often killed
vegetation, but it took them long time to learn
that they may systematically control the cause
of disasters and use the element as they want to
for their good. He told of the many advantages
of the tie-draining where it did not seem to
